What I'd really like to do is get into an intellectual sparring match with him,, on cinema, that is.....but 1) I'm sure he would beat me, and 2)he won't be replying, of course.

Thanks for the comments. Oh, and I don't think I replied to your comment about trees the other day. Would it surprise you to know that on my way home from work yesterday, I spotted a tree that had a hugely bulging spot on it, with some nasty looking pink fungus? (or something pink.)It had SOME sort of disease. I made sure no-one was looking, then put my hands on it and said a prayer for it to be healed. Then kept my hands on it another moment or two. I swear, I felt a slight tingle in the fingers....hope me prayer will be answered.

*Only on TORN would I confess something like this*

Several of your posts reference nature. Do you live in a very rural spot?
